One quarter of patients are severely affected -
housebound....bedbound...schoolchildren....

The UK Medical Research Council states -“There is now preliminary evidence supporting the view that inflammatory mechanisms in the brain and spinal cord may underlie the pathophysiology of some severe disease CFS/ME phenotypes"

This requires biomedical research to find treatments
and cures.... and patients are taking the lead

International ME Awareness Month - May 2013 is a world
event to raise awareness of ME
